XF 1.2Remove the user box in the upper right-hand corner?

Well-known member

Is it possible to remove the user box (for logged in uses) in the upper right-hand corner? I'm talking about the box with the user's avatar, message count, likes, points, etc. It takes up precious sidebar space, and I've been asked by some of my members whether they could get rid of it.

Can getting rid of it be made an option? If not, how to do it globally?
